Croke Park Community Mosaic Unveiled

Uachtarán Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Aogán Ó Fearghail recently unveiled a special mosaic in Croke Park Stadium which was created by the pupils of St. Columba’s National School, North Strand. Entitled “Conas a fuair Cú Chulainn a ainm” (How Cú Chulainn got his name), it’s the culmination of nearly two years work by the local primary school children.
